Data Analysis Of Surfactant-Induced Wettability Alteration In Carbonate Reservoirs, Hao Sun
Masters Theses
"Most carbonate formations prove to be oil-wet due to oil aging effect. Therefore it is essential to employ wettability alteration methods for a more effective enhanced oil recovery process. It is confirmed by researchers that surfactant treatment has positive effects on wettability alteration of carbonate rock, from strong oil-wet to intermediate wet or to even weak water-wet. A number of experiments have the same conclusion and yet, a systematic screening guide development with the support of sufficient data analysis is lacking.
This study involves screening guide development for surfactant-induced wettability alteration method. 199 experiments collected from published literatures are analyzed …
